Pros

While not especially passionate about e-learning, I love the work that I do here. There is always something new to learn, and the variety of work and clients keep things interesting. Team members are fun to work with and respect each others' ideas. Employees are empowered to innovate and help develop company-wide processes. As a Kineo employee, you should be comfortable with being self-managed and self-motivated. You won't find a manager who stands over your shoulder and micro-manages your work. That said, managers regularly make themselves available to discuss any concerns you have or to discuss potential growth opportunities. Ultimately, management makes you feel like a valued and respected team member. Good benefits (health insurance, vacation). Flexible WFH policy (even before the pandemic).

Cons

Good salary but not great. Need better onboarding for employees.

Pros

The people at Kineo are excellent, both personally and professionally. They make coming to work enjoyable. We work with a wide array of clients in different industries that keeps things fresh. While Kineo US has been established for over a decade, the size of the organization still allows it to be agile and feel like a start-up. Employees have the freedom to innovate within their position and submit ideas to management for the good of the organization. In the past year the management team has made it a priority to listen to employee feedback and make meaningful changes including professional development budgets, improved PTO, and a Work From Home policy. This is an organization where an individual can make an impact. Many of the Pros of working at Kineo have been amplified given the COVID-19 situation. We as employees were immediately allowed to WFH if we felt safer doing so before the office was eventually closed. As a recognition for the increased use of home internet/phone/etc management gave us a modest weekly stipend. We've been having digital lunches and happy hours to keep morale and team bonding up. Then last week Kineo delivered small care packages to us with a branded coffee mug, sweets, popcorn and tea with a kind message of appreciation. Throughout the whole pandemic the organization has been very transparent and communicated positive messaging.

Cons

One of the downsides of being a smaller agile organization is there are not as many opportunities for official upward mobility. Employees will take on new and advanced responsibilities without a change in salary or title. Some things also take longer or decisions are made by the parent organization in the UK (City & Guilds). There's been a lot of work in this area to reduce friction but it's not perfect yet.

Pros

I've been in the workplace for 30 years. I've been at Kineo for 3 years. I can honestly say that Kineo is the best work atmosphere I've ever been a part of. Creativity and teamwork are nurtured. I meat regularly with my manger to talk about my professional growth and the company contributes financially to my continued education. We work hard together and enjoy hanging out together outside of the office.

Cons

I wish we would invest more in newer technology.
